Correct answer: 35
- Force per unit length on a current-carrying conductor
For a straight conductor in a magnetic field,
where:
- Horizontal component of earth's field:
- = angle between current direction and magnetic field direction.
- Direction of earth's horizontal magnetic field
The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field points from South to North.
The conductor carries current from South-East to North-West.
So the angle between:
- South North direction, and
- South-East North-West direction
is .
Thus,
- Calculate force per unit length
Substitute values:
The factors and cancel:
Now write in the required form:
So,
- Final answer
The required integer is:
